Chapter 210 - sovereignty

Wren and Alex decided to go on separate ways as they concluded two things:

One: Seraphina and the person she met was having a dogfight inside the said room their informant spoke off.

Two: Seraphina was outnumbered and might be in a dire situation. Hence, if that's the case, her abductor will probably use the sky to escape.

Which made the two men part their destination -- Wren on the hotel VIP room and Alex on the rooftop that can be used as a helipad.

As Wren reached the only room in that certain floor, he let out a ragged breath before intruding the luxurious presidential suite. The moment he entered the dimly lit room, a well-built noble looking man welcomed him with a half-smile plastered across his face.

"Mr. Tanaka? What a surprise! I didn't know I'd see you here!" Max greeted with a touch of surprise, he added, "but, even with a surprise visit by a well-known business tycoon, I feel honored." Max courteously flattered like how a businessman greets another. Alas, Wren wasn't in the mood for formalities as he went straight away to his main concern.

"You… where is she?!" Wren growled as his eyes turn cold and perilous. The playful, easy-going businessman he was earlier was gone and the only one remain is his side as Luciano's trusted consigliere.

Scanning the spacious room, Seraphina's figure was nowhere to be found. However, despite the dim surrounding, the speck of blood on the high-end floor that starts near his standpoint and trailed towards a certain room.

Moving his gaze again, the room has numerous cracks on the wall, window and on one of the couch which Wren was certain it was caused by gunshots.

"She? Who's she? CEO Tanaka, as you can see, I am here to have a rest and didn't bring any girls to accompany me tonight." Max as a great pretender as he can be denied the fact that Seraphina was in this room earlier despite all the evidence laid open.

"CEO Maxwell Han, I hope you are prepared for the consequences." In a dreadful tone, Wren announced with authority.

With that said note, Wren began to head to where the blood was leading without bothering about Max's ill-intention. Part of him was hoping that Seraphina was inside the room as it would be easier to take her back.

Though he was confident about Seraphina's capabilities, alas, her expression earlier said otherwise -- meaning, their opponent was much powerful than he would expect.

However, having Maxwell Han's presence, Wren confirmed that the man backing the influential Han Corporation isn't easily be taken down. He finally understood why Seraphina became unremorseful using other people for her own gain. After all, Seraphina was on hiatus for almost two years. Thus, in the underground community -- there's a lot of changes happened and her power as Luciano gradually declined.

Opening the door where the blood was leading him, to his dismay, no one was inside. Wren's jaw tightens as an indescribable feeling slowly crept on him.

"Well? Since CEO Tanaka already got his answers, why don't you take a seat and have a talk?" Max leisurely invites him over.

But, by this time, Wren already disregarded his own beliefs that money is a better option than violence as he pulled a handgun clipped on the back of his waistband and aimed at Max's head.

At the same time…

Alexander Han was panting as he runs his way towards the top floor. Thankfully, Thomas Yang informed him at the nick of time or else, he would be trapped inside the elevator as all the lifts were now malfunctioning.

Suspiciously enough, the whole hotel staff seemed to not make any action about it.

Right there and then, few men in a suit pulled their gun and aim at the intruder yet, as per Dragon's orders, they didn't dare open fire.

Unfazed by the numerous muzzle pointing at him, Alexander Han fixed his dark chocolate with flecks of hazelnut eyes to Dragon's broad back. Obviously, Alex can see Seraphina's body being carried like a bride by him.

Sensing that someone is sending him off, Dragon slowly spins his body towards a certain someone. Seeing Alexander Han's dashing profile, the corner of Dragon's lips curled upward then placed a kiss on Seraphina's soft plum lips -- declaring his sovereignty.
